Dentist 'off target' with needle

A dentist has admitted she was "off target" when she punctured a patient's nose with a needle.

Polish woman Joanna Chyzy, 34, who now lives in Collin, near Dumfries, was giving evidence to a misconduct hearing relating to her work in Somerset.

She said the anaesthetic slipped down the woman's throat so she retracted the needle and changed the angle.

"She was making noises but I can't say that she was waving her hands," said Ms Chyzy.
